IMCL Submission

Submission of contributions

Please use the Conftool for all kinds of submissions (abstracts, papers, posters...) as well as for your participant registration.

Important: When registering or uploading something to Conftool please fill in asked data (your personal data or metadata of your contribution) carefully! These data are also used for other purposes, for example the proceedings CD or indexing services. If you want your name or your paper title to appear correctly in the authors index on the proceedings CD - spell it correctly in Conftool.

Preparation of Contributions

Use the following templates to prepare your contributions:

• Abstract Template
• IEEE Paper Template
• IEEE Copyright Form (available soon)

These links might be helpful:

• The IEEE Citation Reference may help you with the references in your paper.
• Get the list of IEEE recommended keywords. (E-mail link: if it doesn't work directly from your browser, send an empty e-mail to keywords@ieee.org with "IEEE Keywords" in the subject line.)

IMPORTANT

The conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore^®. This ensures a wide dissemination of your valuable work. Therefore, some rules must abolutely be followed:

1. The manually signed (by the paper responsable) and scanned copyright form must be submitted along with the final paper. Papers without the copyright form will not appear in the conference proceedings.
2. The format instructions in the template must be followed, it is notably important
   • to use the right paper format: A4
   • to have the right margins
   • not to use page numbering (page footer must be empty)
   • to leave a message in the remarks field (when submitting) if each of the authors of one paper are employees of the US government or a crown government (UK, Canada, Australia)

The copyrights of the papers are transferred to IEEE (except US or crown governments).

IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

Papers excluded from further distribution will be archived at IEEE but will not be indexed or appear in IEEE Xplore.

Instructions for poster presentations

The papers accepted for a poster presentation all appear in the poster stand area. The posters will be at display throughout the entire conference. They should be mounted before Wednesday , 9 a.m. and removed by Friday, 4 p.m. The poster stand area will be situated in the discussion area. Here, coffee will be served and the workshop participants can circulate among the displays during the whole conference.

The posters should be attended by the authors during all coffee breaks during conference days. This should ensure that all participants are given sufficient time to examine the posters and discuss with the authors.

Please follow the instructions below closely:

• Each author is responsible for preparing his/her display. Stands (height: 100cm, width: 70cm.) and tape will be provided by the conference secretariat.
• In any case limit your display to the sizes indicated above.
• It is recommended that lettering and drawings/ figures should be large enough for easy reading from a distance of 2m.
